WWE Smackdown SPOILERS for 15th March 2013

Lord TSC

From Wrestlezone

1. Sheamus & Randy Orton defeated Team Rhodes Scholars. Sheamus hit Sandow with a Brogue Kick and Rhodes got blindsided with an RKO. After the bout, The Shield came out and challenged Orton and Sheamus to a match at Wrestlemania. They told them to find a partner and make it a 6 man tag team match.

2. The Miz defeated Darren Young when Young tapped to the Figure Four. Wade Barrett was on commentary and watching the match from the commentator's table.

- Backstage, The Big Show confronts Sheamus and Randy Orton. He tries to convince them to pick him to be on their team. They say that they already picked someone, and that person is Ryback.

3. Layla and Kaitlyn defeated Tamina Snuka and Aksana. Kaitlyn was about to finish off Aksana and connected with a Spear. Layla hit a blind tag, connected with a Cross Body, and then picked up the pin for her team.


- Backstage segment with The Bella Twins. They beat up Cameron and Naomi, making fun of their fat friends who dance, including the one who thinks he is Japanese.

4. Dolph Ziggler defeated Kane with the ZigZag. At the end of the match, Bryan and Big E brawled on the outside. This distracted Kane for a second and then Ziggler connected with his finisher. Kane went back in to go after Ziggler, but Big E stopped that. Big E hit his finisher on Kane.

- Ricardo and Alberto Del Rio mocked Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter's Youtube videos once again. They described it as "Canadians."

- Fandango came out to face The Great Khali. Khali could not pronounce his name, thus leading to Fandango insulting him and leaving.

- Booker T made it official, pitting The Shield vs. Sheamus, Ryback, and Randy Orton. The Shield attacked Orton and Sheamus backstage.

5. Mark Henry vs. Ryback resulted in a No Contest. Shortly after the bell rang, The Shield attacked Ryback. Ryback was able to clear the ring from the three men, but they came back in and took out Ryback. Henry came back in and hit Ryback with 3 World's Strongest Slams. He yelled at Ryback and welcomed him into the "Hall of Pain."

6. Jack Swagger defeated Chris Jericho. Swagger won and stood tall at the end of the night after hitting a Gutwrench Powerbomb onto Jericho. Great action here.


Guessing Show replaces Ryback next week in the six man tag.

It's more a case of fighting a common enemy, as far as I know he's still a heel.

The Ayatolla

Basically they hadn't a clue what to do with him at WM so lump him into a multi-man match.

Calling it now; 8 person inter-gender match at Wrestlemania - The Bellas/Rhodes Scholars vs Naomi/Cameron/Tipping Scales.

Yawn, that six man tag at WM doesn't really inspire does it? I suppose it gives Orton a chance to turn heel, the Shield probably need a new member anyway.

Why the last bit?

Looks like Ziggler and Big E will challenge Team Hell No for the tag titles at WM maybe Ziggler could put up his briefcase as well and which ever team member gets the pin wins the titles for their team and MITB contract

I think they need a focal point in the group, an established star to become their leader. Imo Orton could fit that role well and it might revitalise him to have a new direction, he's only treading water at the moment.

Why? They seem to have been doing pretty well for themselves so far. They won a great match at TLC, they beat the super-squad at Elimination Chamber, they're undefeated and they aren't getting over exposed to the point that seeing them is boring. Bringing in an established performer to lead them would just boost whoever they bring in and ruin the good work that has been done building them as a threat and just water them down. The boost would be good for Orton but the Shield don't need him, and ruining something that works to accommodate him would be a shame on the 3 guys who have done all the hard work.

Orton should go back to being a super arrogant heel,have him turn at Mania by screwing Sheamus and Ryback,his reason being that he was sick of being overlooked etc.

Would be pointless having him in The Shield,he doesn't need to be asociated with another stable at this stage in his career,and The Shield are getting by just fine without having Orton lumped in with them.Plus Orton would look ridiculous in that SWAT team gear!

There was a segment early in Raw this week where Big Show was politely talking to some little guy (looked like a child next to The Big Show but think he had a goatee) backstage with a friendly smile on his face. Definitely seems to be a good guy again.

That reminds me of somebody on here asking if Nightmare before Christmas is a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie, after 15 years I still can`t answer it with certainty.

That would make it, what, 3 turns in as many years? It's a bit ridiculous how often it happens with him.

Making Orton the leader of the shield would be like when Punk was made the leader of The Nexus. It's not needed, the Shield is doing more than ok on their own.

Orton does need to turn heel and feud with Sheamus for a while but thats about it.

DM_7

I wonder if they would consider The Shield and Henry v Ryback, Orton, Sheamus and Big Show? Probably not needed but might make things more interesting than just another three on three Shield match
